This is now the fifth confirmed game West Ham will play in whilst visiting Germany and Austria. The other games are against Sk Sturm Graz, Werder Bremen, Altona 93 and finally fellow Premier League side Manchester City on the 4th August.
The Manchester City game will be the first opportunity Pablo Zabaleta will get to face off against his old team, where he played at the Etihad for nine years.
Fulham narrowly missed on promotion back to the Premier League last season, losing in the play-off semi-final to Reading, who went on to lose to Huddersfield.
A key man to watch for Fulham is Tom Cairney. The midfielder was brilliant for the Craven Cottage side last season, having scored 13 goals and also adding 12 assists.
The game will be another opportunity for the squad to regain their fitness against a fellow strong London side.
